We've Forgotten More Than We Ever Knew Page #2

---

If not...

Today I woke up early.

Today...

I awoke at dawn.

A hush seemed to be

upon our forest.

I walked...

[mal woke up early today.

It was quiet.

All was peaceful, but not I.

[womaYou're so old, aren't you?

I never knew how old...

and lonely.

Lonelier than me even.

Yes, but you have me now.

You do.

I'm not leaving.

I promise, I'm not.

Not ever.

You got it?

Okay, good.

Why wouldn't she come meet you?

You don't know, do you?

You never got to find out.

It's lonely being lonely.

And it's hard not

to know things.

But it's easier when you're with

someone who cares about you.

But when you're lonely and you're

lost, all at the same time...

Who was she?

Oh.

Pretty?

I bet.

And you have to know that

when certain things go,

other things are going to come.

But I'm not going to go.

I'm not going anywhere.

And that's a promise,

cross my heart.

That's one good thing.

We don't have to be lonely

anymore, you and I.

Even if things are confusing,

at least we're not alone.

Ah!

And white dust

came in once again,

under the door.

Found its way through the wall.

And the white dust came in

once again, under the door.

Found its way through the

cracks in the walls.

And far away,

barely visible through

the swirling dust,

was a solitary figure.

She waited and watched till

the figure approached.

She knew that when he arrived,

whoever he was,

then the pattern was complete.

She would be done

with this place.

Oh!

I'm sorry.

And the white dust

came in once again...

I brought you something to eat.

It looks good.

Fresh.

What is that?

Oh, uh, it's nothing.

A story?

What story is it?

It's... it's just a story.

When did you start

telling stories again?

It's... it's nothing. Really.

It's nothing.

What about the other tapes?

Uh.

Just...

music, mostly.

And, uh, and the one

voice on many of them.

What's he saying, that voice?

Nothing.

Nonsense.

"I did this, I did that,

I drank coffee,

I waited for someone

who never came..."

Nothing.

You haven't learned

anything, then?

Not what happened.

You fixed the clocks.

Yes.

How long would you

say we've been here?

I'm not sure.

I think it's been

a very long time.

When did you do this?

Do you like it?

No.

Oh! What are you doing?

Are you stupid?

- What is wrong with you?

- This!

This is what's wrong with me!

It's a lie. Do you hear me?

A lie. I've made it up.

It's bullshit. It's nothing.

It's dreams.

There is nothing out there.

We are alone.

But I remember it.

You do not remember it!

I hate you.

Go on, then.

You okay?

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm really sorry.

What are you sorry about?

I shouldn't have done that.

I shouldn't have yelled at you.

I just...

It's okay.

It's not okay.

This place,

it's getting to me a

bit, obviously, and

- I just...

- It's okay.

It's not okay.

Are we arguing about this?

No.

Why didn't you say anything?

About what?

The buildings weren't empty.

You knew they weren't empty.

Why didn't you tell me?

You lied to me.

I was trying to protect us.

Are you serious?

How many times have

you been here?

Once a day. Sometimes, more.

But you knew about him, too.

Which was a lie.

Another lie.

Another unforgivable lie.

You can't trust him.

I can't trust you.

It might as well be

in my own mind...

There it is. Did you hear it?

That's it.

That's the sound.

You must run.

Hey!

Hey!

I just don't wanna

hear his voice.

I don't ever

want to hear his lying

voice ever again.

I don't even know him.

He doesn't know me

either, at all.

He used to try, I guess.

Oh!

I have so many questions for you,

I don't even know where to start.

What's your name?

Who are you?

What is that?

It's really nice.

What was that sound?

Ow. Wait.

The mirrors here

are very strange.

Have you noticed that?

I've never been this way before.

It's beautiful.

Can we stop for a minute?

Can we stop for a minute?

Let go.

Let go.

Let... let go of me!

I said let go!

What happened?

We're on the beach.

Walking on the beach.

The clouds are rolling in

from the ocean so fast,

you can see them coming.

The ocean

is rolling in from

the wind so fast,

and the wind,

you can see it coming.

We are in the woods.

We are walking in the woods.

And the wind begins,

blowing through the tree tops.

[maWe lean back and

forth like giants.

And in the distance,

we hear a thunderclap.

And then the rain begins.

And we run.

The rain is warm

and the smell of the trees

is rich in our noses.

And then,

smoke.

And in the distance,

we see a little house

built of stone and wood.

And you push open the door.

And inside,

there are people.

And it is warm

and bright.

And they give us things

to eat and drink.

And they give us a bed.

And sheets.

It's where we came from.

It's where we're going.

Home.
